WE will never know every pump ever made, even by the larger companies let alone all the small companies that had big ideas to compete. Just like we will never know where some globes/signage was used & by small companies that virtually went out of business before really getting started.
It wasn't UN-heard of for [pump] companies to make customized equipment for their customers just like they will do today. Some items might have been Patent Applied For [but never issued] & couldn't be advertize for sale to their other customers.

If I remember correctly Austin was a company from Columbus, Ohio. As far as I know the only pump ever found is a tall 10 visible, probably from around 1925.

Looks like a Re-Branded Clear Vision w/ a re-placed door.
MERIT did that w/ BOWSER Pumps.
